Alabama trustee of SBC Executive Committee ‘grateful’ for role

Alabama trustee of SBC Executive Committee ‘grateful’ for role

“I’m so grateful,” Dana McCain, SBC Executive Committee board of trustees member from Dothan, Alabama, shared this morning (Sept. 17) during the group’s two-day meeting in Nashville.

McCain opened the second plenary session with Scripture reading (Rom. 12:6–8) and prayer.

“When I look across this room, one of the things I’m most grateful for and most in awe of is how the Lord has brought so many of His servants from all walks of life, different areas of vocational ministry service, professions, areas of lived experience and wisdom all for the good of the SBC and for the good of the Kingdom,” she shared.

“I’m so grateful to be able to work alongside each and every one of you,” she said. “I learn something every time I get in this room with the people God has assembled here to serve the SBC. Let’s pray for the Lord to continue to work in us and through us for the good of the SBC and the good of His Kingdom.”

Romans 12:6–8:

“We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.”

Trustees also heard from EC president Jeff Iorg and SBC president Clint Pressley during the first plenary session this morning — and handled 32 business items during the second session.

Information outlining the business items will be shared in an upcoming article by The Baptist Paper. To read coverage from the Sept. 16 installation service of Iorg, click here.
